Tamas Miklos - Freeware to Success

2009-01-01T07:05:00.000+05:30

Tamás Miklós had developed a very useful freeware, AIDA32. Now he is a CTO of a Successful Network Security Firm.

"While Lavalys launched commercial operations in 2003 with its flagship product, EVEREST Professional, its roots can be traced back to 1995. That's the year that Tamás Miklós, a brilliant Hungarian developer, formed a freeware software project called AIDA32. Millions of users later, AIDA32 became one of the most popular and highly-rated freeware products in the world. In 2003, an entrepreneur from Laval, Canada with a deep background in the world of network management recognized the commercial potential of AIDA32 and joined forces with Tamás Miklós to chart a new course for AIDA32. Roger Marion, and Tamás Miklós thus founded a new and exciting company… Lavalys."

When you look at the History of Operating Systems, you will see that that an OS that meant serious business was UNIX. It was the anvil for the creation of the C Language and AWK. Now we have Linux, the evolved Unix like OS, which is comfortable and versatile for Networking and Clustering.

Embedded Linux is not only Open Source, but can be adapted to any type of dedicated embedded system. It is more like a configurable firmware for Embedded Equipment. Its ability to manage multiple tasks efficiently makes it more friendly and stable, compared to any other OS.

Feedback on Yahoo Web Services

2008-11-23T10:02:00.000+05:30

Today i got a Letter that reminded me of Yahoo 360, This also brings in your mind Delicious and Flickr. I would like to give a feedback i was using Yahoo 360 a few years and even Delicious and Flickr of Yahoo!.

Delicious is excellent in engineering. fast to use and very little learning effort. Flickr is another amazing application. Both are classic web application service examples which are immensely popular due to the simplicity and compulsive social or community integration.

Yahoo 360 is on the other end of the appreciation gradient, it has to be re-engineered like Delicious and the blog feature scrapped. Ideas on how a blog or community building for Yahoo 360 could be can be learnt from StumbleUpon.

StumbleUpon is a masterpiece webapp service, It has probably more image and CPU load than Yahoo 360, but works smoothly and loads fast. A lot can be learnt from this service in successful social networking and collaboration. Even though in every service there will be spam, but that is another aspect.

It would be good if yahoo integrated photos (media), bookmarking, blogging and community in one Yahoo! 360; inspired by StumbleUpon usability. Yet Delicious and Flickr can be used independently as it has a loyal and huge user-base.

AutoCAD is a suite of CAD software products for 2- and 3-dimensional design and drafting, developed and sold by Autodesk, Inc.. The original concept of AutoCAD in the 1980s was to promote customization and feature extensibility, and was what made it especially appealing to customers. Most contemporary CAD products at that time offered little if any customization capability and most were far more expensive.
